Market Drivers for Asset Management Software

Asset management software are a recent invention to the renewable energy industry. They provide automated processes and analyses to allow asset managers save ample time and money in administrative, compliance, financial, and documentation activities. In fact, a centralized asset management software may save managers hundreds of thousands of dollars in direct and indirect costs.

1. Growing and diversifying investor portfolios

The installed PV capacity expects to reach 600GW by 2020 compared to 303GW in 2016.
Along with market growth, we may also expect continued portfolio consolidation and diversification to reach economies of scale and capture new market opportunities.

However, portfolio growth, consolidation, and diversification also bring many management challenges as investors need to manage larger and more complex portfolios. This translates into needs for smart management techniques provided by asset management software.

2. More comprehensive documentation requirement

Market activities in solar plant operations, expansions, transactions, and acquisitions
require comprehensive documentation on assets including many technical, financial, and operational, and compliance information. Managing these documentations can be troublesome due to their large volumes and complexities, but asset management software can handle these activities accurately and efficiently, saving managers both time and money.

3. Asset management services need to be more productive to stay profitable

There is growing price pressure on asset management services as feed-in-tariff regimes phase out and solar energy becomes cheaper over time. These translate into lower revenue per MWh. Compounding lower revenue is more complex management requirement as the solar regulatory systems become more complex, making asset management services more challenging.

Therefore, asset management services must become more efficient to stay competitive, and an integrated asset management software can provide great cost-savings by providing automated and intelligent management.

4. Centralized monitoring

Renewable asset managers often need to manage plants and equipment using multiple monitoring platforms which can make it challenging to consolidate and make sense of data. A centralized monitoring platform can compile data from all facilities and help asset managers manage, analyze, and make smart decisions using a single data pool.

As businesses grow and consolidate, more plants and equipment will be added to existing assets, making central monitoring more vital for a successful business.

5. Growing reporting requirements

Reporting needs will likely increase as the regulatory landscape becomes more complex, and more data and information will accumulate as businesses grow and operate. Managing reporting activities using growing amounts of data can be troublesome. In fact, these activities can take 150+ hours to produce manually but can be fully automated by asset management software. Asset management software allow data to be easily stored, analyzed, and retrieved to generate reports.
